Terms of Use

1. About Findings

Findings is a research discovery platform designed to help people find, understand, and explore peer-reviewed research in clearer language.

Findings may provide research summaries, AI-generated explanations, citations, saved research, and links to original publications.

2. Research and informational use

Findings is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Content on Findings is not medical, legal, financial, psychological, or other professional advice.

Research findings can be uncertain, incomplete, conflicting, or change as new evidence becomes available. You should review original research and consult an appropriate qualified professional when making important decisions.

3. AI-generated explanations

Some Findings features use artificial intelligence to explain or summarize research. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or interpretations that differ from the original publication.

Findings is designed to ground research answers in sources such as peer-reviewed publications, but you should not rely on an AI-generated explanation as a substitute for the original research.

4. Accounts

Some features require a Findings account. You are responsible for providing accurate account information and keeping your login credentials secure.

You are responsible for activity that occurs through your account unless you notify us of unauthorized access.

5. Acceptable use

You may not use Findings to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to interfere with, damage, or gain unauthorized access to Findings or its systems.
• Use automated tools to excessively scrape, copy, or overload the service.
• Misrepresent Findings content or AI-generated summaries as professional advice.
• Use the service in a way that infringes the rights of others.

6. Research sources and third-party content

Findings may display research metadata, abstracts, citations, links, or other information obtained from third-party sources such as PubMed and research publishers.

The underlying publications remain the property of their respective authors, publishers, and rights holders. Findings does not claim ownership of third-party research.

7. Findings content and intellectual property

The Findings name, interface, branding, original design, software, and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

10. Availability

We work to keep Findings available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, permanent availability of any feature, or that all information will always be error-free.

11. Disclaimer of warranties
